Trusted and experienced pet sitter/dog walker available to care for your pet/s 🐾
⛑️ pet first aid qualified
Whilst I am new on this app, I am not new to pet sitting and can provide referees.
I love animals and the company they provide 🐾 I pride myself on providing a professional and valuable service 👍🏻
🐕 I have grown up with cats and dogs and am very comfortable meeting new pets and clients.
I conduct a 'Meet and Sniff' where we go over any specific details around how to best look after your pet/s.
For walks, I pick your dog up from your house, take him/her for a decent walk/run round and drop him/her back home. I know I have done my job well when your dog is tired and relaxed after exercise. If we are travelling to the forest or beach for example, I ask your dog has a harness so I can clip them in with a dog seatbelt 🧡
Walks are generally 60mins. One of my favourite places to go is Bottle Lake forest. I tailor walks to suit your dogs needs. On leash or off leash. Locations away from the road.
🏡 For homestay, your dog/s stays at my house and I look after them as if they were my own. I provide them with love, care and interaction with play, exercise, enrichment and petting etc. I ask you supply your dog/s usual food, bed and favourite toy, so there's a couple less things that are a change for them. I will walk your dog/s each morning (or so) that they stay. I do not offer 24/7 at home care. I will leave 1/2 times per day for 3-5 hours at a time. I will ensure to spend at least approximately 6pm-8am at home + hours during the day, and tailor this to suit your pets needs. For example if your dog cannot be left alone more than 5 hours, I will ensure I am home at lunch time to spend time with him/her, break up their day, have a run round etc.
🦴 Drop ins are 30mins.
💊 I can administer oral and topical medication and provide basic training to dogs; sit, down, spin, roll over, beg, wait. I'm happy to brush cats and dogs and if your dog needs a wash I can do that.
😎 I have some experience (and am always learning and improving) with dogs of all personalities (including rescue dogs) and am comfortable managing behaviours out on walks.
Thank you for your potential interest in having me look after your furry friends. I'd be happy to receive a message from you and we can go from there 😊
Thanks, Stephanie 🐾

We can not recommend Pawshake enough. Your furr babies are in the best of hands, we have Steph, Vanessa and the team look after our four legged bestie ad hoc since our move to Christchurch and five stars is not enough for the love, care and attention they provide. Angels in every way. Please get in touch with them for your own needs.
Steph made me feel completely at ease leaving my fur baby in her hands! She instantly connected with my boy at our meet & sniff and was understanding about our wants and needs. Amazing communication before, during and after visits along with photo updates and great care for my dog and home.
Couldn’t recommend Steph enough, we will definitely be seeking her services in future!
